Words are interpretive and forever bound in rhetoric. Look at lawyers and judges. They make their living at pretending words are solid & unmovable concrete ideas & concepts. And we believe them for a second, so we can sleep better, until the next trial begins. Then all is re-interpreted & redefined again. Each time we are that much closer to a police state the very thing we fought against in WWII.
Bottom line is:
It was a dumb rule to begin with. Art is about freedom of expression and this rule is against art.
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me and my renderosity gallery-- :-)
and there was no one left to speak out for me
